Plug insert with positioning element

Abstract

A plug insert comprises a base body, a receptacle extending through the base body, and a positioning element at least partially received in the receptacle. The base body has a plug side and an opposite contact side. The receptacle extends through the base body from the plug side to the contact side and at least partially receives a connector. The positioning element is accessible from both the plug side and the contact side and positions a contact pin of the connector.

       12. The plug insert of  claim 11 , wherein an end of the contact-side shielding element overlaps an end of the plug-side shielding element in the receptacle. 
     
     
       13. The plug insert of  claim 12 , wherein the plug-side shielding element has a recess at the end, the recess extending in a circumferential direction to form a toothing of the plug-side shielding element. 
     
     
       14. The plug insert of  claim 13 , wherein the toothing of the plug-side shielding element is complementary to a toothing of the contact-side shielding element disposed at the end of the contact-side shielding element. 
     
     
       15. The plug insert of  claim 14 , the toothing of the plug-side shielding element overlaps the toothing of the contact-side shielding element. 
     
     
       16. The plug insert of  claim 15 , wherein the toothing of the plug-side shielding element is spaced apart from the toothing of the contact-side shielding element by a spacing. 
     
     
       17. The plug insert of  claim 16 , wherein the spacing is less than a material thickness of each of the plug-side shielding element and the contact-side shielding element. 
     
     
       18. A plug insert, comprising:
 a base body having a plug side and an opposite contact side;
